Concord – New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley issued the following statement on Karen Testerman kicking off a campaign for New Hampshire’s U.S. Senate seat in 2014.

"Karen Testerman is out of touch with New Hampshire values and would simply be a rubber stamp for Kelly Ayotte's extremist agenda. Testerman opposes a woman’s right to choose, common sense gun safety laws, and any rights for New Hampshire's LGBT citizens including marriage equality. She epitomizes the NHGOP's far right Tea Party ideology. New Hampshire families can't afford Karen Testerman in the US Senate."
